@@magnamole I think it's all good. They go into the cam caps. So I should be able to pull that one off and work on it on the bench. Might have to heli-coil it though. EBay had plenty of the valve cover bolts
@@brentsydlik9947 excellent, in my head that one wasnt the worse but never fun to hear. Helicoil or an insert would be strongest for a repair if the threads are damaged, I know those are notorious for breaking so hopefully just the bolt.
Those definitely aren't like the slip joint 'TikTok' pliers. Those are chinese made, non-slipjoint, needlenose, electrical wire stripper/crimpers. Not sure you could get a more different plier than the Snap-On slip-joint needle nose pliers. Not being a dick, but that might steer someone in the wrong direction. Like instead of going into space, you burrow down to the center of the earth directions lol. Nice collection though!
10:15 Your “torch cleaners” look exactly like the King Tools-brand that I found at a flea market with “Made in USA” marked through. I bought them thinking they’d be good for unclogging my desoldering gun since the included cleaner tool didn’t fit any of the smaller tips. I looked online and found the same tool being sold specifically as tip cleaners for desoldering irons and figured “Wow. Good guess.” Only now am I finally hearing what they’re actually for. I’d be afraid to use them on carbs though since I assume I might mangle small passageways. I might’ve missed where you mentioned some of these, but I would add: Cable lube tool Spark plug sockets Puller Slide hammer Bearing/seal driver Waste oil catch/container Battery maintainer Rear stand Triple tree stand (head stand) Chain breaker/rivet tool Ultrasonic cleaner Chain brush …and maybe a chain alignment tool? Also, you probably won’t see the Japanese Industrial Standard dot indicator but don’t even think about working on Japanese carbs without that JIS driver!
Great information, and great additions to the tool list, I think a couple of those things were mentioned, but I hope to keep making this video every couple years and It keeps getting better as the community helps me grow and learn! You do have to be careful using the torch cleaners on carbs, but when you really need to pull them out to clean something it has already been abused typically. The ultrasonic would be a great addition, been on my list for a while. Thanks for the comments and knowledge, and I hope you stick around and be a part of the fun! Ride safe and wrench hard!
@@magnamoleThanks! I forgot to mention a tire changing station or at least tire irons, which is weird since I just got a Mojolever and a second tire changing stand in the last week! That also implies: Air pressure gauge, bead breaker, inflator (or air compressor), balancing stand, etc. One more tool that I found absolutely necessary is a torch. I got away with a micro torch but my impact screwdriver just ruined my Kawasaki bar ends without it (darned red Loctite). It’s come in handy for stuck rotor bolts and such too. Outside of bikes I used it on stuck lug nuts that literally broke two impacts and most recently an impromptu plumbing fix after the tub spout fell right off in new house (contractor only managed to get solder in the wrong places). I’ve never soldered plumbing before and I actually needed TWO mini torches but I managed to do a better job than whoever came before me. :)
@@emmettturner9452 yeah I have the motion pro bead buster spoons that I mentioned in the video, did a great job for me. But an actual station would be so nice, I have access at work but even a manual stand style at home would be nice.
That set is a random one I got on amazon, no issues with it so far. Though I would recommend Tekton tools whenever possible. WETT 32pcs Master Hex Bit Socket... www.amazon.com/dp/B09XZXK4BL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Conveniently mentions, "You don't want to break off bolts on older bikes" days after I break off valve cover bolt in 85 Magna head...
Big oof, I will try not to manifest more issues lol

You are right, since then I have used some real snap on ones. Though for me not worth the cost.

What brand is your hex bit socket set?

@magnamole Thank you. I have tekton full 1/4 and 3/8 set and some of their ratchets. Their warranty is fast and easy.
Literally none of it has been used. 😂
Lol has been used plenty, but there is some stuff that is pretty fresh in there. Thanks for stopping by!
